Choosing the Right Fireplace
Wood burning fireplaces give real fire and crackle but need a chimney, regular sweeping and a supply of dry wood. Gas fireplaces light with a switch and vent through a wall or roof. Electric fireplaces need only a socket and give a flame effect with optional heat. Where heat is needed on only a few cool nights, many homeowners choose by look and convenience as much as by warmth, and we help you weigh both.
Prefab and Zero Clearance Fireplaces
Many new fireplaces are factory-built units. A zero clearance fireplace installation sets an insulated firebox inside a framed wall, with a listed chimney pipe running up through a chase or the roof. Prefab fireplace installation and prefab fireplace replacement must follow the unit's listing exactly: the same brand of chimney pipe, the specified clearances and the maker's cap.
Chimney pipe installation is often the most important part of the job, because every section, support and firestop has to match the listed system.
Masonry Fireplace Installation
A masonry fireplace installation builds the firebox, smoke chamber and chimney from brick or block, on a footing sized for the weight. It is a bigger project, usually planned with new construction or a major remodel. We follow the Florida Building Code requirements for fireplaces and chimneys and pull the permit the work needs.
Working With an Installer You Can Reach
A good fireplace installer stays involved after the unit is lit. As a family fireplace installation company based in Stuart, we explain how to run the new fireplace, when it will need its first check, and what the warranty from the maker covers. When the job involves chimney installation on the roof, the same crew handles that too, so nothing falls between trades.
Wood Burning Fireplace Installation in Florida
A wood burning fireplace installation in a Florida home needs the same care as one up north: proper clearances to framing, a hearth extension of the right size and a chimney tall enough to draft. We size the chimney to the firebox and fit a cap with a spark screen, then show you how to light and close it down properly.

Questions We Answer Often
Can a gas fireplace be converted to wood burning?
Only rarely. A gas fireplace is built and listed for gas, with a firebox, vent and clearances that are not rated for wood fires. Converting usually means removing the gas unit and installing a wood burning fireplace with its own listed chimney. We check the existing framing and roof route before quoting that.
Is a gas fireplace better than a wood fireplace?
A gas fireplace lights with a switch, vents through a wall and needs only a yearly service. A wood fireplace gives a real fire but needs a chimney, regular sweeping and dry wood; for occasional use in Florida, many homeowners find gas easier; others want the crackle and smell of wood.
Does an outdoor fireplace need a chimney cap?
An outdoor masonry or factory-built fireplace with a chimney still benefits from a cap. The cap keeps rain out of the firebox and its screen stops sparks from landing on a lanai roof or nearby plants. Some outdoor units are listed with a specific cap, and that is the one to use.
Can you burn wood in a gas fireplace?
No. A gas fireplace or gas log set is not built for wood. Burning wood in one can damage the burner, the glass and the vent, and it creates a fire hazard; if you want real wood fires, the firebox and chimney need to be replaced with a wood burning system.
How long does a fireplace installation take?
A direct replacement of a prefab fireplace in the same opening often takes one to two days. A new fireplace in a fresh wall, with framing, chimney pipe through the roof and a finished surround, takes longer; permits and finish work set the final schedule, which we write down before starting.
Do I need a permit to install a fireplace?
Most fireplace installations need a building permit, and gas units also need the gas line work permitted. The permit lets the building department confirm clearances, hearth size and venting. We include it in the written estimate when your project needs one.
